Babson Babson Park, Mass., July 25 (Special to Mail Tribune) Mother Nature surely smiles on the Democrats by giving the U. S. good crops for 1952. This total crop pro duction now promises to -be second on ly to the rec ord of 1948. Here are a few h i g h lights. Billion -bushel - plus wheat crops have been almost taken for granted in recent years. With the exception of 1951, they have been the rule since 1943. This year's indicated total outturn of 1,249,019,000 bushels is the third largest crop of record. De spite its size, it should not cause any trouble. Farmers have more storage space available this year; and can "take advantage of Government loans if necessary. In Mississippi, Arkansas, Lou siana and Texas, as well as in California, rice growers are pro ducing an indicated record crop of well over 45,000,000 bags of 100 pounds each. But I guess it will not prove burdensome mar ketwise. Although a relatively small buckwheat crop is likely, I do not forecast a shortage of pancakes on the American Sun day breakfast table! The small est rye crop outlook in over 80 years, plus the low carryover, may well mean considerable stringency. Bumper Corn Crop If Good Weather Continues Barring unfavorable weather from now on, the nation's 1952 corn outturn may reach the huge figure of 39,365,089,000 bushels the second largest corp crop on record. This should be good news to livestock producers, since it points to more favorable feeding ratios this fall and win ter. The barley crop probably will be the smallest since 1936, in contrast to an indicated oats crop well above the ten-year av erage. A large total hay crop, of good quality, also is in the cards. Bean eaters and they are by no means all in Boston will draw on a smaller total crop of dry edible beans this year than last. The indicated outturn of 15,747,000 bags (100 pounds each) is down materially from 1951 as well as the ten-year av erage production. The much-loved Irish potato, which recently has been spotlighted because of Government maneuverings, will be somewhat more plentiful this year than last. The indicated na tional potato outturn of 339, 048,000 bushels is 4 per cent lar ger than the short crop of 1951, but 18 per cent below the 1941 1950 average. It should suffice, although the margin may be none too wide. I expect about an average production of com mercial truck crops, and a slight ly below-average outturn of de ciduous fruits in 1952. ! Cotton and Oils-eed Prospects .. May Fall Short Although it is too early to forecast as to the probable size of the 1952 U.S. cotton crop, it is likely to fall short of the 1951 outturn of 15,068,000 running bales. I base this forecast sole ly on the fact that indicated acreage now in cultivation is 7 per cent under that of a year ago. Weather and insect damage between now and harvest time could further cut yields; but otherwise the cotton crop and the financial returns therefrom will be satisfactory. 1 Another oilseed crop also pro mises to be large. I refer to the versatile sqybean. But here, again, I have nothing to go on but the expected 4.2 per cent indicated increase in acreage. This could result in topping last year's 280,512,000 bushels the second largest crop on record. Although flaxseed and peanut prospects are materially under 1951, total supplies of oilseeds and their products will again be sufficient. Another Good Year for Farmers Anticipated America the Bountiful as well as the Beautiful should thank God and her farmers for munificence of her harvests past, present, and curraly in dicated. There has never been a real famine In the land, and I pray that there never will be. From present prospects, 1952 will be another good year for the farmers, despite the rising trend of production costs. Pric es, for the most part, should be well maintained, allowing for the usual seasonal varia tions. Sales opportunities in the farming areas should continue excellent provided sellers stress quality and price their goods fairly.
